Bar stools: 10 trendy ideas to follow

1. At the bar like at home

The furnishings of the bars and pubs “borrow” from every place to encourage conviviality. Kitchens, restaurants, living areas and terraces are all inspiring for choosing the ideal stools.

2. Evaluate the size

Since bars often have high counters or tables with heights ranging from 108 to 114 cm, the ideal height for the bar stool is 76 cm. There are also adjustable or extra-high 80/85 cm stools that adapt to particular or custom-made tops.

3. Distance between the stools

To ensure freedom of movement between one stool and the other, leave from 16 cm to 30 cm. Also place the stools at least 35 cm from your work surface to occupy the space correctly.

4. Consider the features

Some aspects to take into consideration:

• Backrest: perfect if you remain seated for a long time and ensures better freedom of movement;
• Footrests: not essential but strongly recommended. It is sturdy, comfortable and well attached to the front legs;
• With 4 legs: for safety and stability.

5. Shapes and materials

Wood and metal are the most common choices for bar stools. The super colorful polycarbonate ones are often perfect for design choices. Various colors, finishes and shapes for modern and informal combinations. Otherwise, there are transparent and scratch-resistant solutions that are also perfect for outdoor use.

6. Safety

Given the height of the stool, it is important that it is solid and stable to be used safely. If you opt for an adjustable stool, pay attention to the base which must be heavy enough to avoid dangerous rocking.

7. Comfort

Comfort is also important thanks to a comfortable padded seat, or with a small backrest for support. Furthermore:

• The padded seat is the first prerogative for a comfortable stool;
• The stools with armrests, even if they take up more space, look like real armchairs;
• Footrest to rest your legs.

8. Practicality

Stackable or foldable stools are usually recommended for the premises. It is also better that the stool is practical to clean and made of sturdy material.

9. Style of the environment

The choice of stool then depends on the surrounding environment. A modern or a vintage look also determines the style of the details, so be careful to make tasteful combinations.

10. Choose what you like

Finally, don’t forget that your personal taste is also decisive for creating environments with a unique touch.
